On set of Alberta Theatre Projects’ production of The Virgin Trial, our presenters will each speak to the theme of Trial: how being put to the test affected them, the outcomes of these experiences, and what they learned. In just 6 minutes and 40 seconds each, they will share their unique viewpoint on the central experience of being "put on trial.”

Alberta Theatre Projects (ATP) has been the resident tenant in the courtyard-shaped, Georgian-style Martha Cohen Theatre since 1985. Tiered levels of seats form a three-quarter circle around the performing area eliminating the separation between the audience and performers. The farthest seat from the stage is a mere 39 feet away.

Situated in the heart of Arts Commons beside Jack Singer Concert Hall, Martha Cohen Theatre received state-of-the-art sound upgrade in 2014, as well as all new seats and a new lighting console in 2016, ensuring that it remains at the top of theatre industry standard. The Martha Cohen Theatre was named after the late Dr. Martha Cohen ($1M donated by her husband in honour of her birthday).
